Then And Only Then

In your haste, you left and said you'd be returnin'

In my sorrow, I forgot to ask you when

In my lonely room, I sit and count the hours

Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in

For then and only then will I stop cryin'

And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend

Not until I feel your arms around me

Will I be happy and I'll live for then and only then

All that's left inside my heart is just your echo

And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling

But if I keep holding on, maybe someday

You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again

For then and only then will I stop cryin'

And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend

Not until I feel your arms around me

Will I be happy and I'll live for then and only then

And I'll live for then and only then
